Temp benefits

The Treasury and HM Revenue and Customs has released a consultation document on the use of travel dispensations for temporary workers.

Travel dispensations allow temps to claim tax relief for expenses incurred when travelling to and from temporary assignments.

Commenting on the paper, Anne Fairweather, head of public policy at the Recruitment and Employment Confederation, said: “We need to consider this consultation carefully. However, there is certainly a place for mobile workers to claim expenses they incur through their flexible employment.”
